The main aim of this project was to peel off the epitaxially grown nanowires (NWs) from their native substrate and transfer them to the cheaper carrier substrate in order to make solar cell device from transferred NWs. Potentially the peeling and transferring idea is about to decrease the cost of NWs growth by reusing the native substrate especially for expensive material such as InP and GaAs whic

This thesis explores the currently most common ways of exegetically approaching the so called Imprecatory psalms, based on post WWII commentaries regarding Ps 58, 109, 137 and 139 – all known for their harsh language. Imprecations are seldom included in modern Christian worship – exemplified by (for example) the Roman-Catholic prayer book Liturgy of the Hours (1970) where several psalms have been

The reason why it is written is due to the fact that modern medicine associates many diseases with overweight, and because I myself happen to be overweight. I will do a comparison between modern medicine and the ancient medical writers to see if they did associate overweight with

This paper cointains an analysis over how the network of roads between visible burial grounds might have looked during the iron age. The area chosen is the nearby surroundings around Hörby, in the middle of Scania in the parishes of Hörby, Fulltofta, Äspinge and Södra Rörum. Three roads are selected as material, and one of them is the road connecting the important central places of Uppåkra and Vä.

Skogen och skogsindustrin är en stor och viktig del av Sveriges ekonomi. 214 miljarder kronor var förädlingsvärdet för skogsindustrin i Sverige 2011. Av all produktiv skog i Sverige ägs 50 % av ungefär 328.000 privatpersoner och ytterligare 25 % av privatägda företag. Skogen har därför en viktig del både i landets och privatpersoners ekonomi. Mellan 1995 och 2010 steg priset på den svenska skogs

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Monomerer är mindre kemiska byggstenar som bygger upp en större molekylstruktur kallad polymer och kan jämföras med tegelstenar i ett hus. Monomererna i vår produkt binds samman genom så kallade esterbindningar och polymeren som bildas kallas därför en polyester. Polyestrar har många användningsområden såsom plast i PET flaskor, färg, och konstfiber i textilmaterThe main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of reaction conditions such as reaction temperature and time on the isomerization of 1‐methylidene ethane‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MIA) during the synthesis of MIA to 1‐methyl‐trans‐ethene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MTA) and 1‐methyl‐cis‐ethene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MCA) based polyesters.

The Arctic tundra has been considered as one of the most sensitive areas to global climate change. One impact of global warming is that permafrost thawing could result in more waterlogged and anaerobic conditions, and consequently an increasing release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. These potential CH4 emissions can further amplify global warming. Therefore, it is important to assess the quan
